47** Notes
48**
49** 1 The "universal" elements are those which define the orbit for the
50** purposes of the method of universal variables (see reference).
51** They consist of the combined mass of the two bodies, an epoch,
52** and the position and velocity vectors (arbitrary reference frame)
53** at that epoch. The parameter set used here includes also various
54** quantities that can, in fact, be derived from the other
55** information. This approach is taken to avoiding unnecessary
56** computation and loss of accuracy. The supplementary quantities
57** are (i) alpha, which is proportional to the total energy of the
58** orbit, (ii) the heliocentric distance at epoch, (iii) the
59** outwards component of the velocity at the given epoch, (iv) an
60** estimate of psi, the "universal eccentric anomaly" at a given
61** date and (v) that date.
62**
63** 2 The companion routine is slaUe2pv. This takes the set of numbers
64** that the present routine outputs and uses them to derive the
65** object's position and velocity. A single prediction requires one
66** call to the present routine followed by one call to slaUe2pv;
67** for convenience, the two calls are packaged as the routine
68** slaPlanel. Multiple predictions may be made by again calling the
69** present routine once, but then calling slaUe2pv multiple times,
70** which is faster than multiple calls to slaPlanel.
71**
72** 3 date is the epoch of osculation. It is in the TT timescale
73** (formerly Ephemeris Time, ET) and is a Modified Julian Date
74** (JD-2400000.5).
75**
76** 4 The supplied orbital elements are with respect to the J2000
77** ecliptic and equinox. The position and velocity parameters
78** returned in the array u are with respect to the mean equator and
79** equinox of epoch J2000, and are for the perihelion prior to the
80** specified epoch.
81**
82** 5 The universal elements returned in the array u are in canonical
83** units (solar masses, AU and canonical days).
84**
85** 6 Three different element-format options are available:
86**
87** Option jform=1, suitable for the major planets:
88**
89** epoch = epoch of elements (TT MJD)
90** orbinc = inclination i (radians)
91** anode = longitude of the ascending node, big omega (radians)
92** perih = longitude of perihelion, curly pi (radians)
93** aorq = mean distance, a (AU)
94** e = eccentricity, e (range 0 to <1)
95** aorl = mean longitude L (radians)
96** dm = daily motion (radians)
97**
98** Option jform=2, suitable for minor planets:
99**
100** epoch = epoch of elements (TT MJD)
101** orbinc = inclination i (radians)
102** anode = longitude of the ascending node, big omega (radians)
103** perih = argument of perihelion, little omega (radians)
104** aorq = mean distance, a (AU)
105** e = eccentricity, e (range 0 to <1)
106** aorl = mean anomaly M (radians)
107**
108** Option jform=3, suitable for comets:
109**
110** epoch = epoch of perihelion (TT MJD)
111** orbinc = inclination i (radians)
112** anode = longitude of the ascending node, big omega (radians)
113** perih = argument of perihelion, little omega (radians)
114** aorq = perihelion distance, q (AU)
115** e = eccentricity, e (range 0 to 10)
116**
117** 7 Unused elements (dm for jform=2, aorl and dm for jform=3) are
118** not accessed.
119**
120** 8 The algorithm was originally adapted from the EPHSLA program of
121** D.H.P.Jones (private communication, 1996). The method is based on
122** Stumpff's Universal Variables.
